Chapter 1022, The Lion King and His Cubs

Chapter 1022, The Lion King and His Cubs
We'll all obey your orders?
who are you?
Even Dante wouldn't dare say that!

Organrond still respected Dante. He was a decorated hero who had fought for the Empire for over two thousand years, and the chapter master of another newly formed chapter; of course, he would respect him.

But he was the Supreme Mentor of the Angels of Death, the glorious successor of the First Legion. He was so proud that, under normal circumstances, he would never have been willing to hand over his troops and command of the Angels of Death to someone else.

No, even in this abnormal situation, he is actually very unhappy.

Even though it was Dante who was coming, he was still able to control his temper and communicate with him in a kind and gentle manner.

And now, an unknown person?

Dream on!
He didn't ask for command of the Allied forces because the Death Angels were the ones being rescued in this war, and it wasn't easy for them to talk to him.

He bluntly retorted, "No one can command the Angel of Death."

The other party was silent for a moment.

"No one is more qualified to command the First Army Corps than I am."

These words instantly ignited Erganglong's anger: Who is this person, daring to speak like that?
But before his anger could erupt, the other person said the next thing:
"I am Leon Charles, Commander of the First Legion, Imperial Prince. I have been appointed to lead the Angel Expeditionary Fleet to support the campaign in the Honey Earth Sector. As per Imperial orders, all armies within the sector loyal to the Empire and to humanity must unconditionally obey my command."

"Your name is Erganglong? Do you have any further questions?"

Any more questions?
Erganglong had so many questions in his mind!

The sudden surge of information almost caused Erganglong's brain to shut down!

This person calls himself Leon Charles? And claims to be the Lord of the First Legion?

Is he the son of God? The genetic father of our Angels of Death?

This……

His first instinct was disbelief.

He certainly didn't wish this scene were real.

Which Space Marine could refuse the return of their Gene Father?

This was something they had been longing for for ten thousand years.

This anticipation reached its peak after they learned of Robert's recovery.

That made the Infinite Warriors the envy of all Space Marines in the entire Imperium.

At the same time, it has also led many startup teams to have some unrealistic ideals.

Some of the gene fathers of certain warbands have clear records of their deaths, meaning they have no more ambitions.

But some chapters are different, such as the Death Angels.

While their genetic fathers, like Robert of the Infinite Chapter, don't have a clear whereabouts, they were merely missing. Robert was able to recover from the stasis field, so why can't our genetic father return?
In short, Robert's resurrection reignited the search for their genetic fathers in many warbands. They began to believe that their genetic fathers were capable of returning, and amidst the chaos of the Cataclysmic Era and the fight against Chaos, they began to dedicate some of their energy to searching for the Son of God.

The angels of death are no exception.

However, their search yielded no results.

Disappointed? Definitely a little.

But most people still hold onto hope.

But at this very moment, the Son of God, the genetic father of the Angel of Death, appeared alive and well.
Or will they appear at the most critical moment of the battle to come to their rescue?
This is something that only happens in dreams!
He certainly hoped it was true.

However, precisely because it was so wonderful, he dared not easily believe it.

Leon Charles didn't care about Orgon's unintentional offense, nor did he mind that Orgon hadn't relinquished command of the Angel of Death for the time being.

After a long slumber, and now awakening in this unfamiliar era, his temperament has changed considerably compared to ten thousand years ago.

Despite his inherently proud nature, he has become more mature, more reserved, more gentle, and more rational.

He could accept Erganglong's current incredulous attitude and understood the pride of the Angel of Death.

Although he believed that even if it wasn't him, or even if it was just an ordinary imperial commander, as long as he carried the highest order from the imperial center, Organlon, as a loyal soldier of the empire, should obey the order.

However, this matter can be dealt with later.

Leon knew exactly what he had to do—to display his figure before all the angels of death!
Once the angels of death see him, the mysterious connection in their blood will allow his genetic offspring to fully know his identity.

But how should it be presented?
He chose the most direct and efficient method!

He led his troops directly to the forefront of the battlefield, to the most intense fighting.

In his hand, the Lion King Sword swiftly slashed, each strike taking away an enemy—regardless of whether that enemy was strong or weak.

From the lowest-ranking demons and cult followers to Chaos Space Marines and even massive demon engines... almost none could rival him.

When he first awoke and led a rebel army of natives against the Blood-Eyed Warriors, he sensed that his body was not as robust as it had been ten thousand years ago in its prime. His reactions were slower, and his strength was not as invincible as it once was.

He couldn't be sure if it was due to aging or because he had been asleep for too long, causing his body to become 'rusty'.

Maybe both.

But after a period of fighting, the latter's influence is waning.

In addition, he himself is the 'strongest swordsman' among all the children of God—at least that's what he thinks.

Robert?
At his peak, he felt he could beat Robert with one hand.

Now... I have to use both hands, so it takes a little more effort.

At that moment, his combat prowess was on full display. As one enemy after another was slain by his sword, news of his appearance spread rapidly as more people witnessed the battlefield.

The angels of death gathered around him spontaneously.

They also saw two armies beside the Lionheart.

Some of them are blood red or painted in other colors, but it's not surprising that they clearly come from the Blood Angels.

That was the Father of Genetics bringing the Blood Angels to support them.

But the identities of some other Space Marines, with their black armor and red badges, are highly questionable.

Many members of the Death Angels and their sub-groups, who had mastered a great deal of the warband's secrets, could recognize at a glance that it was their mortal enemy, the Fallen Angel, whom they had been hunting for ten thousand years!

Given the nature of the angels of death, capturing or eliminating fallen angels is their highest priority, surpassing everything else.

but now……

Even the most obsessed angel of death has to put this matter aside for a while.

The most important thing is to fight alongside the father of genetics.
